Self Directed IRA: Open an Account
Sunday, February 5th, 2012I Am Happy with the Results
Thursday, February 2nd, 2012I am happy with the results that I have seen so far. I heard about the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme and I was curious. I did a lot of research on it and I decided that I wanted to give it a try. I am cautious when I invest so I decided to start out small. I was more than happy with the results. I decided to invest a little bit more and I continued to be pleased. I like to watch my money grow and I like to know that I did not do anything reckless or foolish to make money. I have some friends who have made large amounts of money with their investments, only to invest even more and then lose it all. I am not going to be like that. I am glad that I have found something that works for me. I am going to keep doing what I am doing.
Investing in Precious Metals is Important
Saturday, January 28th, 2012
If you have a portfolio, do not hesitate to invest in precious metals. You can’t do without investing in precious metals. Investing in them is highly advisable as it can guarantee additional stability to a portfolio. Portfolios that do not have gold in them turn out to be rather unstable. Gold is the most preferred option among all the precious metals. Gold is much cheaper than platinum and its availability is better than that of silver. However, gold and silver are still good options to invest in. The easiest way of investing in precious metals is to buy some, in the physical sense. A problem that you may encounter here is finding a suitable place to store gold. Unlike money, you can’t just deposit it at a bank deposit. Hiring a safe or something of this kind is essential. Other option is to use exchange traded funds as in this case you do not have to store the gold yourself.
Comstock Resources – Oil and Gas Stock in Trouble
Saturday, January 28th, 2012There are red flags all over the place with this stock. This company is losing money. At the very least, they are not making money. I don’t generally like to invest in stocks that aren’t profitable. Unless I find out something that would make me think differently about the future prospects of this company, I would stay out of this stock. The only way you would be forced to invest in this stock is if you buy a natural gas ETF, because they are one of the components of the major index.
This company made some money a couple of years ago. They brought in $69 million in 2007 and $251 million in 2008. Then they started losing money. They lost $36.4 million in 2009 and $19.58 million in 2010. Their sales have been on a decline as well.
This is a half a billion dollar company by market cap. They closed on the day at $12.26 per share and they are mostly institution owned. I would be very careful in investing in this natural gas stock.
